Rheinmetall has signed a contract worth over 500 million euros ($579.7 million) to supply 149 mobile rescue stations to the German Armed Forces.
The order falls under a framework contract awarded in December 2024, increasing Berlin’s total order to 165 systems and raising the program’s overall value to more than 600 million euros ($695.8 million).
The deal includes training for operating personnel and options for additional vehicles.
Production is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with deliveries extending through 2029 to replace aging equipment.
Rheinmetall’s segment Project Solutions will manage the project, marking its largest contract to date.
Armored, Standard NATO Level 1 Care
Rheinmetall said that the platforms support the military’s Modular Medical Facilities initiative, which adopts scalable medical hubs for frontline missions and crisis response.
Under the package, 112 vehicles will be configured in ballistic-protected variants alongside standard versions.
The systems deliver NATO Level 1 emergency care, designed for first aid and other immediate life-saving measures for tactical-level units, enabling them to return to task or transfer to a higher medical tier.
Each station features two of Rheinmetall’s proprietary expandable containers that can be set up or dismantled quickly by four troops, an architecture influenced by combat conditions in Ukraine.
They can operate for several days using independent generators and climate control infrastructure, while allowing deployment across challenging terrain.
